1,406,993. Speciflcatiou of Letters Patent.

Application flled December 18, 1920. Serial No. 481,620.

To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, ROBERT E. MOCONLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Whitcomb, in the county of Shawano and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Snowplow, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to snow plows, the primary object of the invention bein to provide a snow plow especially designe for use in connection with tractors.

Another object of the invention is to provide a plow of this character having an adjustable scoop forming a part thereof.

A still further object ofthe invention is to provide novel means for connecting the tractor and plow toeliminate any possibility of the plow and tractor becoming disconnected. I

With the foregoingand other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without de artin from the s irit of the invention.

eferrn to the rawing:--`

Figure 1 'illustrates a side elevational View of a snow plow constructed in accordance with the present invention, and showing a tractor as connected lthereto. Figure 2 illustrates a plan view, of the Same.

- @nuon .Figure 3 illustrates a Sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Referring to the ;drawing in detail, the plow includes the runners which have the ground engaging portions thereof curved as at 6 to permt'thel plow to. be readily and.

adjacent to the ground. engaging surfaces lthereof being curved as at 9 to cause the runners to pass over obstructions on the ground surface over .which the same operate.

Forming a part of the plow, is a mold board 10 which extends at an' angle with respect to the runners 5, the same being curved to provide an upper flange 11, which flange throws the snow laterally of the plow and deposits the same in close proximity to the sides of the plow.

Hingedly connected to the forward ortion of the plow, is a scoop member 12, w ich is of a width equal to the width ofthe plow and is provided with the flan es 13 to prevent the snow from moving aterally over the scoop,` when the, plow is in operation, there being provided however an operating lever 14 for adjusting the scoop to various angles.

he plow has connection 4with the tractor by means of the bolts 15 which pass through the runners of the plow and connect with the side rails of the running gear of the tractor.

It is therefore obvious that when the low is to be used, the tractor is positione between the runners of the plow and securedv thereto as stated.

Having thus described the invention, what isclaimed as new is A snow plow, spaced runners connected at their forward ends, a mold board having connection with the"runners and extendin upwardly and outwardl therefrom, sai mold board being of a wi th to extend across .the entire width of the forward portioisof the runners, said mold board being disposed at an angle with respect to the runners, a scoop member pivotallv connected with the runners adjacent to the forward ends thereof, said scoop members extending across'the forward ends of the runners, an operating lever having connection with the scoop for adjusting the same and holding the same my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence vof two witnesses.
